Loving Decision Conference

Volunteer

There's still time to get involved with the planning of this historic conference, whether you're a student, parent, educator or ally! The following committees can use your help. (Note: students, you can also officially assist with the conference through AMEA's internship program)

FUNDRAISING/DEVELOPMENT
This committee is responsible for generating funds and in-kind donations to successfully hold the conference through various fundraising strategies. They are also hoping to raise funds to give out student scholarships during and after the conference takes place.

EVENTS/ACTIVITIES
This committee is responsible for creating and executing all of the events and activities that are planned during and after the daily presentations. At this time, they are discussing every idea from daycare activities to a possible cruise and evening extravaganza with live performance.

PUBLIC RELATIONS/MARKETING
This committee is responsible for disseminating all of the press materials about the conference to the public. They also assist with the design and image of the conference through many creative strategies including the website and MySpace page.

SPEAKERS/WORKSHOPS
This committee is responsible for organizing all of the panels, presentations, and keynote speakers for the conference. They are also creating the conference schedule in consultation with the Activities/Events committee. All call for proposals and call for artists will be chosen by this group of volunteers.

EDUCATION/OUTREACH
This committee is responsible for organizing the education components of the conference, specifically outreach to educators (0/K-12), counselors, etc. Currently, they are working on the possibility of securing counseling credits for social service students and workers who are interested in attending. It is their hope to have an educational resource dvd guide for those who attend the conference.

ADMINISTRATIVE/LOGISTICS
This committee is headed by the coordinators of the conference that oversee the overall committees and running of the events. This includes being the frontline to the press and those interested in learning more about the conference, securing high celebrity/policy profile figures, and making sure things leading up to and during the conference are satisfactory and beyond.
